Maintenance; Check And Replacement Of Carbon Brushes - Fox F36-255 Manual De Instrucciones

CAUTION!
It is forbidden to use any saw blade with a different width from the one of the original saw
blade, in order that the external flange is perfectly blocked on the machine axle during re-
assembly.
WARNING!
Before carrying out any adjustment or maintenance task, ensure that the machine is switched
off and that the plug is removed from the socket.
In case you find out any damage to the protection devices or irregularities while processing or
checking the machine, you must get it repaired immediately by qualified persons.
Before use check that the protection and safety devices are perfectly efficient. After carrying out the
work, make a general cleaning of the machine by removing dust and chips.
In case of intensive use of the machine, you should periodically carry out some tasks:
1- Daily
Suck up the saw dust that can pile up inside the machine and clean the ventilation inlets of the
engine.
In case of use, empty the dust bag and clean it
Be sure that the protective cap can slide freely.
Be sure that the saw blade can be raised, lowered and moved radially freely.
2. Weekly
Check the saw blade brake time, and if it is longer than 10 seconds take the machine to an after
sales service.
3. Monthly
Check the noise of the engine and the consumption of the carbon brushes periodically (Fig. 30).

CHECK AND REPLACEMENT OF CARBON BRUSHES

CAUTION: Before checking the carbon brushes, disconnect the machine
from the power supply.
The life of the carbon brushes can vary, and it depends on the motor working
load. If the tool is new or after the replacement of the carbon brushes, check
the carbon brushes after the first 50 hours of use. After the first check, you
must control the carbon brushes every 10 hours of use until it is necessary to
replace them.
The housing of the carbon brushes (see the figure on the side) are positioned
on each side of the motor. Change both the carbon brushes if the carbon of
one of the brushes is worn and it is smaller than 5 mm, or in case a spring or
a wire is burnt or damaged. If the carbon brushes are still usable after the inspection, re-assemble
them on their original position.
